Good visuals, love the glitchy transitions and the opening cinematic :D

I didn't fully understand the mechanics of the game, though, wasn't sure how I was supposed to strategize around beating Vedal.

cool idea! i like the move and shoot mechanics that leave a remnant behind, blocking paths and keeping things fresh. the mix of 2d and 3d is amazing and very well-executed, love the cutscenes. good job!

Really pretty! I loved the cutscenes, especially the extra effort with things like camera panning. The gameplay was interesting and unique too. Would be cool to play an expanded version of this!

Developer

Thanks! :D I'm definitely tempted to finish this game, but I'm already working on one side-project and there is still a lot left to do here...

The ruined world reminds me of nier:automata great game!

Developer

Thanks~! And you know, it almost ended up with action combat, though I'd say it's better that it didn't...

Interesting concept! I like how smooth the combat is, and I love the portrayal of neuro and evil!

Developer

Thank you~! Regarding combat it's almost a miracle that it works and afaik has only a single invincibility bug with how much spaghetti I put into that code...

This game has a couple of very nice things! I like this mix of 2D and 3D as well as this interesting combat. Sadly I couldn't defeat lava lamp boss, but game is still great. Good work!

Developer

Thank you! :D And being honest... I wanted to make the final boss challenging because I ran out of time to do the ending cutscene ^^' (also the two glitching Veds are bugged and cannot die, ironic)
